Location: London
Job Description:

Referment is partnering with a rapidly scaling, PE-backed consulting and RegTech business that is delivering complex transformation programmes across global financial institutions.

This is an opportunity for an experienced consulting leader to join a high-growth boutique environment where you’ll have genuine influence over client engagements, business growth, and the future direction of the consulting practice. This role is ideal for a Senior Manager who balances strategic thinking with a hands-on approach to transformation delivery.

You’ll work directly with senior client stakeholders across banking, capital markets, asset & wealth management, and insurance, leading large-scale transformation initiatives spanning enterprise strategy, operating model design, operations, risk, and governance.

  • Broad transformation work across enterprise strategy, operations, and regulatory change
  • Faster progression and visibility than traditional consulting firms
  • Entrepreneurial, collaborative culture with strong leadership access
  • Opportunity to influence both delivery and commercial growth

This role would suit a strategic leader who enjoys combining high-level advisory with hands-on transformation delivery and wants to operate in an environment where their impact is highly visible.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Leading end-to-end strategic transformation programmes across financial services
  • Designing and implementing complex Target Operating Models (TOMs) and governance frameworks
  • Acting as a trusted advisor to ExCo and senior client stakeholders
  • Managing multiple workstreams, teams, and complex delivery programmesDriving business strategy and organizational design initiatives
  • Building and growing client relationships and accounts
  • Supporting business development, proposals, and strategic growth initiatives
  • Coaching and mentoring consultants and managers across the practice

They’re looking for someone with:

  • 7+ years of experience within management consulting or financial services transformation
  • A proven background within a top-tier management consultancy or Big 4 firm
  • Extensive experience working within Tier 1 Investment Banking environments
  • Deep expertise in Enterprise Strategy, Target Operating Model (TOM) design, and Governance
  • A track record of leading complex business transformation rather than purely technical or digital implementations
  • Excellent stakeholder management skills with experience in strategic advisory at the senior executive level
  • A stable career history demonstrating a commitment to practice growth and long-term client impact
  • Strong leadership capabilities, with a proactive and disciplined approach to delivery
  • High-caliber academic credentials, such as an MBA, or a background in military leadership is highly regarded
